CALL FOR PAPERSLEARNING OBJECTS 2003 Symposium: Lessons Learned, Questions Asked
> Due April 20th < Presented in association with
ED-MEDIA 2003 World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia & Telecommunications June 23-28, 2003 * Honolulu, Hawaii USA Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort http://www.aace.org/conf/edmedia/
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in reusable multimedia components for learning, referred to as "learning objects." The use of learning objects promises to increase the effectiveness of learning by making content more readily available, by reducing the cost and effort of producing quality content, and by allowing content to be more easily shared.
However, the development and deployment of learning objects also presents new challenges to designers of instruction and technology alike. To explore the benefits and challenges of learning objects, a one-day symposium on the theme of Learning Objects will be held on June 24, the day prior to the start of the ED-MEDIA 2003 in Honolulu, Hawaii. (http://www.aace.org/conf/edmedia/)
For this one-day symposium, we are soliciting papers on all topics related to learning objects, including: * learning object repositories * instructional design using learning objects * automatic generation of metadata * flexible access to learning objects * interoperable learning objects * empirical analysis of learning object development and deployment * aggregation and disaggregation of learning objects * designing learning objects for reuse * theoretical frameworks for learning objects * cross-cultural learning objects * critiques of the learning object approach
Authors should submit between 4 and 6 pages of text, in PDF or HTML format.
Submissions should be made by email to: Erik.Duval@cs.kuleuven.ac.be
All submissions will be acknowledged and reviewed.
Important Dates:
- 20 April: Deadline for proposals
- 15 May: Notification of acceptance
- 6 June: Deadline for final paper
All accepted papers will be published on the Web and presented at the Symposium. Papers presented at the Symposium will also be considered for publication in the forthcoming Learning Objects Special Issue of the Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia (JEMH). http://www.aace.org/pubs/jcmst/
